I don't know if it has just been WoW or PC gaming in general (Mostly MMO's I suppose) but my typing has continually gotten faster. Constantly typing to people via whisper, guild chat, trade chat, or those clutch situations in a terrible pug who isn't using vent/mumble and you have to type something real quick mid-fight because people do not understand the mechanics of a fight and are about to wipe the raid (you know), has made me much faster at typing over the years.

Kinda makes sense, I guess. It shows that you have some leadership qualities, problem solving skills, etc. Also shows that you can handle managing/coordinating 24 other people if your raid group is somewhat successful.

I guess if you're really good at it it could work with applications ... but that is very limited. Other than that not sure ...

I mean you could argue that you get more attentive, but there's far better ways (maybe less fun though) for that.
I for one learned terms like red-w*** (not sure if I'm allowed to even mention it on the forums ...) that are utterly useless in real-life but hey if you get to know someone with weird habits maybe it helps >.>

I'd feel oh so very ronery without MMOs. Now it's different (and I no longer play), but I'm thankful for the times when I used to be a contributing member of a progression guild. The sense of togetherness, achievement through hard teamwork was quite inspiring, and kept me going without feeling overly sad.

All those quests where I was literally sifting through piles of excrement have made me a poop-scooping virtuoso of sorts when I take my dog for walks at the park. They even have that shimmering sheen that makes them extremely easy to spot from a distance.

Games are never released in my local language, so I've had to get by with English. Playing this game for the better part of a decade has taught me more about the English language than I ever could've hoped of picking up at school. I, apparently, have flair for teaching in addition to that, so I'm currently studying to become an English teacher

Reason: + The obvious typing skills that come with chatting continuously for hours on end.
